Please help me I.D. these fish

Re: L046 Biotype Small fish ideas
Very interesting discussion on L046 habitat. I wish that someone could share video of L046 in their natural habitat for everyone to see for themselves what it looks like...

Re: Being sold as royal plecos - doesn't look right
I personally wouldn't pay more than $20 for L129. I have seen them for as low as $10. I am not familiar with L340 pricing.

Re: Bacterial or Viral?
It is an established quarantine tank. It has been running for over 6 months with fish in it throughout that entire period (I quarantine fish for a long time). The reason my params are so low is because I do a 75% water change every day. I check the water params every day right before my daily water ...

Bacterial or Viral?
I purchased this Loricaria on Tuesday of this week. On Friday I noticed that it was breathing rapidly even though there is more than enough oxygen (via air stone and sponge filter) in the 10 gallon quarantine it was in. It seemed to be healthy until this point. I saw it eating every day prior to Fri...

Re: Is this ich?
You've wasted your money. Herbal treatments do nothing as far as eliminating the parasite. Also, remember just because you don't see any white specks on the fish does not mean that ich is eliminated. Ich is only visible during the trophant phase. It is doing the theront phase that the aquarist has t...

Re: New L129
Thanks for sharing. May I ask where or who you purchased these from? And how much did you pay? Also, do they like the hut? I have a hut like yours but so far my plecos haven't taken to it. In my experience, they prefer tighter spaces. Beautiful L-129's!

Re: Is this ich?
I've used Kordon Rid Ich Plus with no problem. I combined Kordon Rid Ich Plus (follow package directions exactly) with 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons and slowly raised the temp to 86F. I treated this way for 14 days. Fish were clear of ich after 4 days but I continued for a full 14 days, to be s...

Re: Is this ich?
It is hard to tell from that video. However, it looks like it might be ich. It is probably a good idea to try and catch the fish to have a better look at it.

Re: Help me choose a pleco
My vote is for L-264. I don't have any myself, as of yet, but that is what I will be getting next. I just love the way that they look. They are beautiful and don't get too big either.

Re: How many otos can I get without overstocking this tank?
Why not upgrade to a 20 gallon? if this were a 20 gallon, I would say, I think you might be able to get away with your proposed fish stockplan. However, 15g is probably too small for any long term success with the proposed stocking plan. I would upgrade to a 20 gallon, plant heavily, wait 4-6 months...

Re: C.loxozonus White patches
Could be fungus or bacteria. You can use a combination of API Furan 2 (Nitrofurazone) and Seachem Kanaplex (Kanamycin) to treat. Do not combine with anything else, except perhaps a very little salt. If you want, although you probably don't need to, you can add 1 tablespoon of salt for every 10 gallo...

I believe them to be either L262's or L136's. Please confirm. Thanks much!
